Description

The specs of the Pantech Discover are nothing to sneeze at, mirroring your world on a 4.8" HD screen, powered by a 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro, and backed by a 2,100 mAh battery. The 12.6 MP rear camera, 2 MP front-facer and dual speakers round up the goods, and we even get a microSD slot for storage expansion in addition to the 16 GB of internal memory, so all is well with the world.

Pixel density:

Pixel density - The pixel density of a display represents the number of pixels over an area of one inch. It’s measured in “pixels per inch”, or ppi. The higher the number, the more detailed and good-looking the display is.

306 ppi

Technology:

Technology - There are two main screen technologies currently used in phones and tablets: LCD and AMOLED. The former usually features a light source and liquid crystals, while the latter is based on organic light-emitting diodes.
Newer LCD variations like IPS-LCD and Super-LCD allow for very accurate color reproduction and very wide viewing angles, where no significant image quality loss is observed.
Current AMOLED screens differ in such a way that they can exhibit much more saturated colors (sometimes too much) and incredibly high contrast levels, which is due to black color being completely black in AMOLED displays.

Positioning:

Positioning - This field shows the positioning systems supported by the device. There are three main types: GPS, A-GPS and GLONASS.
GPS - This is one of the most widespread global positioning technologies, developed and maintained by the U.S. government. It uses satellites in order to detect your location. Works best in clear weather.
A-GPS - A-GPS stands for Assisted GPS and is the industry standard for positioning and navigation. “Assisted” means that it can use local wireless networks, in addition to satellites, for quicker and more precise localization.
GLONASS - GLONASS is a global positioning system, developed by the Russian Federation. It’s very similar to GPS, but isn’t so popular in cell phones.

Date approved:

Date approved - Shows the date when the particular phone is approved by the Federal Communications Commission

FCC measured SAR - The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines is 2.0 W/
kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR
is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR of the device while operating can be well below the
maximum value.
